My friend Alexis gave me this recipe and I loved it! These granola bars are great if you love granola, but want something that is fresh and all-natural. Additionally, they are a lot cheaper than buying the Natural and Organic bars in the stores. They can even be made vegan by substituting the honey for pure maple syrup. Enjoy! Ingredients:
4 1/2 cups oats (oatmeal, old-fashioned style) |
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
3/4 cup butter, melted |
3/4 cup honey |
1/3 cup brown sugar, packed |
1 cup chocolate chips (mini if desired) |
1 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Lightly grease a 9x13 pan. In a large bowl combine all ingredients except chocolate chips and raisins. Once ingredients are mixed, gently fold in chocolate chips and raisins.
2. Pour and press mixture into pan (use a sheet of wax paper to press down granola, so it does not stick. Lightly grease if needed). Bake 18-22 minutes or until golden brown. Let cool for 10 minutes and cut. Cool completely before removing from pan.
3. Wrap individually. Can be frozen if desired.
4. *Add what you like - coconut, nuts, sunflower seeds, etc to make it your own. You can also reduce the oatmeal and add other cereal, etc.
